8th Grade Reading, Writing, & Language Arts Milestones Review with ANSWER Key

Created by

This is a review packet for students taking the 8th grade Milestones. This review covers every CCGPS standard (particularly the reading, writing, and language standards). The last page will guide students through how to best answer a constructed response/short answer question using the ACE strategy and transition words. This would be great to review with any grade level, though. Very in-depth and asks students to recall definitions and create their own examples for language used in the standar

STAAR 2.0 Redesign ECR/Essay Prompt Creator

Created by

Teaching to the Heart of Lit

My thought in creating this resource was to empower you to create your own prompts in the same style/wording as the new ECR prompts so that you can tailor them to whatever you are reading in class, since the prompts must be tied to literature now. We all read a variety of li

UPDATED 9/18/20 with highlighted STAAR eligible TEKS and a few additional stems! When students are familiar with STAAR question stems they are likely to do better on the test.
